Fae Corps Publishing Pad Challenge Day 8

@faecorpspublishing.org

Here’s My response:

I see the rage monster
you try to hide,
And I wonder if the monster
as you see it
is not but an injured animal within.

Injured animals strike
at anything within reach.
And as I refuse to leave your side...
Well perhaps you are not the monster
you think you are...

*note Right now this is sitting in the Kissed by Verse volume. I am not positive it fits the theme but I am also unsure it does not. My mind may change before publication of that volume.

Ars Poetica April 5

For though I had not written
in a score of days,
the pen seemed to have
a life of its own as I wrote
in a complete haze.

Poetry flowed loosely
from my mind as if I had
breached a dam at last.

the pen and I were
joined as one,
and I myself
found poetry done.
